piano magic - you never loved this city

Make haste, the light is fadingThe traders turn the signThe clouds are lost to darknessThe bars they spring to lifeYou never loved this cityBut angel, it loves youYour smile, a Roman candleYour eyes are Prussian blue

Beware, the crack of lightningThree miles but drawing nearThe first rain blacks the pavementThe birds, they disappearAnd in the doorway, loversThey share a cigaretteBelow, the rush of gutterAbove, a silhouette

You never loved this cityBut angel, it loves youYour smile, a Roman CandleYour eyes are Prussian blueI never loved this cityBut you can keep me here Your love, a stained glass windowYour heart, a chandelier
